Hi, could someone please supply chords and lyrics for Michael Smith's Crazy Mary. I've only found lyrics alone so far. Thanks so much.

Hi, I've asked this before, but to no avail. Still, I can't quite get it all myself and am wondering; does anyone know the chords to this song by Michael Smith? I can't get it out of my head. Thanks.

I saw the late Fred Holstein play it years ago in G. From memory, I think he played it in G and think it progress to a D with the F# in the bass, followed by and F chord,than it went back to the standard chords that go with the key of G. (C, D, Am) sorry I can't tell you the order without having a guitar in hand and the words out there (which I don't know). If you try the G chord with the third fret of the B string fingered, but the high E string open, you can get the first bit of the melody, for an introduction.

I saw Michael play it years later with a more elaborate arrangement, though I think it was still in G. Good luck.
